To bring this vision to life, DarkMatter crafted The Seeds of Tomorrow, a narrative-driven campaign anchored by a flagship digital commercial. The campaign, running from October to December 2024, extended beyond World Food Day (October 16) to emphasise the enduring importance of sustainable food systems.
At the campaign’s core were four children from diverse regions - Asia, Europe, Africa, and South America guided by Jabari, an animated seed character symbolising knowledge and resilience. Jabari, whose Swahili name means "brave," represented the courageous journey of a seed from planting to harvest. Complementing this was the Seeds of Tomorrow logo lock-up, a visual language that unified all campaign elements. Together, these elements told a compelling story through a beautifully animated storybook, bringing the message to life for a global audience.
The commercial employed a mix of animation, filmed footage, AI, illustration, and graphic design to create a captivating visual experience. Static photography complemented the storytelling, ensuring cohesion across platforms.
